Al-Makura Pays Consultation Visit To Akeredolu Over APC National Chairman

As part of his consultation towards his aspiration to run for the Chairmanship of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former Governor of Nasarawa State and Senator representing Nasarawa central, Senator Tanko Al-Makura on Saturday visited the Chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum and Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu.

The former governor who visited Akeredolu to seek his support ahead of the National Convention of the APC, declared his interest to run for the office of the party’s national chairman.

Al-Makura and members of his campaign organization were received by the Governor at the government house, Alagbaka, where he said he decided to visit the sunshine state to inform Akeredolu of his aspiration because he is one of the leaders of the country and the conscience of the APC due to his sincerity and courage.

He said “We are here with members of my campaign council to see you as one of the leaders of this country. As one of those who believe in true democracy. As one of those who have championed the inner mind of the people when it comes to justice, fairness and just cause.

“We feel you have a role to play in determining and shaping how this party (APC) is put together, especially in this critical time of transition. We must ensure the continuity of the gains we have had from President Muhammadu Buhari.

“This is the motivating factor that has made me throw my hat in the ring to consider contesting the office of the national chairman. We must give this party a principle, a good policy and raise the hope of our people. There is something that gives me comfort when I think about APC.
